you cant unless if you emulate is within windows which isnt very practical as it will be very laggy running along side windows. sorry.

however mac is planning to move over to x86 pcs so you could install it on your computer i think.

Mac OSX is little more than a hyped up Linux running the Gnome desktop, so why bother? Just install openSUSE and Gnome.

How much hard drive space do you have? It would take a good amount of HD space to dual boot. Dual booting is when you have the ability to choose which OS you run on start-up. So RAM wouldn't be too much of a problem here. It's the HD space you need.

Alternatively, Mac OS X will run on your PC, I'm just not sure how to do it. It seems logical that you would just uninstall your current OS and intall OS X. Every computer at my school, be it an old Dell piece of junk or a brand new Mac, is running OS X. So it is definately possible.
